Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184

[AsteriskAmp]

Nah, it's just a thing my dorm does every now and then. I didn't actually go to a single Halloween party; I just changed the sign on my door that usually says whether I'm here or not to say that I was WATCHING and drew a creepy face. Heck, even back home I'd just hand out candy and write down all of the costumes for statistical analysis (last year there was a strangely high incidence of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

...I'm rambling, aren't I? I'll stop now.

That sounds absolutely fantastic actually and costume statistics sounds rather interesting; since I have never been responsible for candy giving due to there being help hired for that I can only count and not record interesting costumes whilst walking the streets myself.

Which leads to the second tradition, the one where I take my costume for Otakufest and use it for Halloween because... why not?

This year was better than last year all things considered, with people mistaking Tiamet for a German Musketeer.

[Mutant Sheep]

German... Musketeer? WHAT? Who thinks the Three are GERMAN? I ART CONFUSED.

There are things called Tiamet that aren't dragons, you know.

They are of course English!

Again, there is so much one can acquire in terms of weaponry before it becomes notable; on does not wait until he is in danger but waits in preparation.

Especially when you have a brother who creates his own artillery pieces.

It is easy to find someone gone into hiding when you have been following said person before it disappeared. I now have a reason to do so, the possible benefits will outweigh any potential costs it seems.

Even if said person has a knack for disappearing while in plain sight?

Also, now you're not even trying to live fast, now you're just trying to live paranoid.

Do you assume I'm another classical villain?

No, there are ways more prosperous then killing, hostages are perhaps the best security one can have against another, specially when said another relies in area of effect artillery.

You know, trying to stave off my unannounced preemptive bombardment by kidnapping my family members is kind of a game-changer. Why would I use artillery after that when a strike time would be much more appropriate. Or Interpol.

Given, flashbang shells may have their merits. Soporific gases could be considered as well, but the Russians made the dangers of such tactics quite clear a while ago.

He lived 23, I would consider that dying young.

He lived to the age of 33, and the cause of his death was most likely an overdose of a decoction thought to bring good health. Doesn't sound especially much like a desire to die young to me.

You mean sap? Which the Canadians have been feeding to the world for quite a long time (granted, not bonsais, but still...).

It was half past 2 in the morning, give my wits a break. Also, it's something of a joke based on a misspelling I made initially. Not that anyone except me would get that, but then again, that's kind of the point.

My cooking is oddly enough not actually lethal (and also lacking in Strychnine) and surprisingly palatable according to acquaintances and family despite what they saw went into the food.

Given, I'm just picky with food in general (an unforeseen consequence of that is that I've become quite able at precision cutting with a knife), so I may frown nevertheless.

Historical fact: There only ever were three muskets in existence, and they were carried by the three gentlemen named Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Warfare was really lame for a while there before the rifle was invented.

Hellebore. And yes, he definitely had no intentions to die any time soon.
After all, he had plans to invade Arabia.

Yeah, I don't think Alexander decided to die young. Even IF he somehow knew that every other military commander would go "I'll never be as good as ALEX" and get all emo and never even try, I think he'd rather not die. Dying is generally seen as bad.

Obviously. And they totally only ever used muskets, and were not, rather, choreographed swordsmen. I LIKE this "use blue for sarcasm" thing. Can it get universal, so I can say "I was being blue"? ;)

[AsteriskAmp]

Especially when you have a brother who creates his own artillery pieces.

The base materials are not especially inconspicuous at least not if you want something which actually does considerable artillery damage.

Even if said person has a knack for disappearing while in plain sight?

Unless there is an invisibility cloak I have not heard of then yes.

Also, now you're not even trying to live fast, now you're just trying to live paranoid.

Have I not already stated my paranoia?

You know, trying to stave off my unannounced preemptive bombardment by kidnapping my family members is kind of a game-changer. Why would I use artillery after that when a strike time would be much more appropriate. Or Interpol.

At which point I restate my state of mind and propensity towards weaponry, their end would be painless at the very least, that or explosive. And you may notice my address has never been revealed if not for the fact that perhaps I not have only one place of residence.

Given, flashbang shells may have their merits. Soporific gases could be considered as well, but the Russians made the dangers of such tactics quite clear a while ago.

I'd just mail a certain bacillus if I wanted to be done with it.

There are several possibilities, and many amongst them are him drinking himself to death.

Given, I'm just picky with food in general (an unforeseen consequence of that is that I've become quite able at precision cutting with a knife), so I may frown nevertheless.

Your pickiness most likely does not approach mine at all, with all fruits and vegetables outside of my area of consumption.

Rumours speak of a fourth one called Juanito.

I've got timbits, mints, hot chocolate, and Assassin's Creed 3, some lightbulbs, and a blanket. This is a good weekend.

[Asta Kask]

I'll be trying out a new medicine. Hopefully it will keep me from sleeping 12-14 hours per day. The cat is thinking I sleep too much. Especially when he's hungry.

Most cats think that any human being sleeps too much, especially when it results in less food and/or affection than they think they deserve.

Sounds nice, LaZ. I think I'm going to finally get around to putting up the chin up bar and read Hellsing.

It's a matter of dedication. I wouldn't bet against my brother on this...

Have I not already stated my paranoia?

Amping it up to para-paranoia, then.

Yes, because shooting the cops is a wonderful idea and won't get you into any trouble at all.

And in all honesty, I estimate that if you gave me a few days time to look through the sources and write up the scripts, I could probably track you down to a single name only based on what little (not really) information you've left about youself on these forums. Assuming you aren't but an intricate web of lies, of course.

I'd just mail a certain bacillus if I wanted to be done with it.

Yes, because powder-containing envelopes from Peru aren't the slightest suspicious.

There are several possibilities, and many amongst them are him drinking himself to death.

How can many of these different possibilities be the same? Do they all acount for different drinks?

Your pickiness most likely does not approach mine at all, with all fruits and vegetables outside of my area of consumption.

It's kind of cute how you're like a reverse vegetarian who can't eat vegetables because they're all so cute and your friends. And then you snuggle a bundle of carrots. Stereotyping vegetarians FTW.

And it doesn't matter what you say, because this is how I will view you forever and ever and ever.

But it is also a matter of stealth in doing so.

Yes, because shooting the cops is a wonderful idea and won't get you into any trouble at all.

Because it is not like Colombia is not a car ride away allowing an easy escape to a lawless haven. National Stereotypes yay!

It'd be interesting to see you try.

Assuming I send it from Peru and no misleading elements on the envelope.

How can many of these different possibilities be the same? Do they all acount for different drinks?

For different liver based disease or the one drink that killed him or something caused by alcohol.

I do not snuggle produce, commonly edible plants I loath; it is aesthetic specimens and landscaping plants that I adore.

I also do not step on grass but bunnies, I do not trim topiaries but cats.

What about d'Artagnan and Albert?

[AsteriskAmp]

What about d'Artagnan and Albert?

The first one is actually called Juanito, the Mexican Musketeer which the French tried to retcon through novels into being a Frenchman.

Albert is another part of the French conspiracy and never existed.

[Heliomance]

He's sharp! He's cool! He's nobody's fool, he's Albert the fifth musketeer!

[AsteriskAmp]

He's sharp! He's cool! He's nobody's fool, he's Albert the fifth musketeer!

He's as real as Richelieu was actually evil.

[Heliomance]

I thought by the fact that I linked a children's cartoon intro that it would be obvious I was aware of that :P

He's Owlbear the Fifth Musketeer!

The French ploy is of course as effective as one would expect.

And indeed that's the actual German Musketeer.

The TRAILER for Castle in the Sky before Kiki's Delivery service made me choke up. I am far too sentimental.

Yes!

That would be perfect, actually. We should start doing that, and see if people catch on.

Ah, Saturday. The day in which I do nothing that I intended to do. *sigh* I'll have to content myself with working on knots for my Technical Theater class. *proceeds to make bowline knots*

Knowing your way around rope is always handy, even aside from Theater.

I know what you mean about Saturdays never quite going as planned though.

...What do YOU use the rope for?

[Mynxae]

...What do YOU use the rope for?

Oh my...

[Amidus Drexel]

...What do YOU use the rope for?

...Practicing the alpine butterfly knot, of course. It's a real knot, although I don't actually know how to tie it. Some of my friends do, though. I might get them to teach me.

[Rawhide]

I'm a sailor, knowing how to use ropes* is one of the most important skills.

*There are no ropes on a boat.

guys. Finished the second season of Doctor Who. I already watched the first episode of the third season a little bit ago, and then I watched the end of the final episode and it all connected perfectly and I just fell out of my chair.

Help me. I've been given the role of a slightly mad (nervous revenge-driven breakdown) doctor (of linguistics) and I immediately incorporated a bow tie into his suit.

I'm turning into a Whovian, I really really think so.

Oh, and I just found out one of the Intellectual *******s watches Doctor Who when he mumbled a reference to it during lunch, then proceeded to blush and mumble "allons-y" under his breath when I caught what he said.
